Small steps...

[shyaussiegal]

I would like to think that shyness is possible to get over... I believe by taking small steps and putting yourself out there is a way to get on the right path.

* smile at that stranger passing you by on the street
* talk to random people daily - even if its just small chit chat
*join a hobby group
* travel

By putting yourself out there, your conveying your personality to people and showing others that your a likeable person with interests to share. Of course all this is easier said than done! But, what have you got to lose?
Many experiences of positive reinforcement helps a person to get over their shyness... and you can only gain that by interacting with others.

I agreeeeee! It seems to be the only way to go about it.

It's true.
I joined a badminton club this last month and now I look forward to my weekends more. I am no big fan of badminton, but I enjoy the social nature of it.
